To a/ZZ whom may oon/cervi,.-

Be it known that I, NATHAN FEIEDBERGER, merchant, residing at Paris, 43 Boulevard Malesherbes, France, have inventednew and useful Improvements iny Hand-Made Embroidery, of whichthe `following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a new article of manufacture, and has for its object to simplify the production of hand-made embroidery by loosely attaching to the surface of a base material with compact meshes long parallel-running threads'which may be fastened at suitablepoints to the base material by means of the threads of the weft or in some other convenient manner, and the threads whichform the embroidery-pattern are: threaded` either over or under these loosely-attached threads, as the case may be, in practically the same way as in darning.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which-` 1 f Figurel is a view of the basekmaterial with a partv of the pattern, and Fig. 2 is an illustration 'of thefba'se material with the` loosely-attached parallel threads on the surfaceof the same.

a is a base material. This is close-meshed, and on the surface of the same are placed parallel to one another the threads c, loosely laid on and only attached at intervals by the weft-threads b of the base material a or in any other suitable manner. These loose threads c serve to hold the pattern-threads d, which, as is customary in darning, are passed,

according to requirements, either under or over the loose threads c, so that the patternthreads which lie neXt to each other, are passed alternately either under or over the loose threads or also by skipping several weftthreads are Xed on the surface of the material.; The loose parallel threads can also be formed of the warp itself and can be of any desired thickness and color,

My improved article has the advantage of being easy to produce. The embroidering is 1 -easy and simple to perform, the loose parallel threads materially simplifying the drawing of the pattern-threads under and over the same.

What I claim as new and of my invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

l. Hand-made embroidery which consists of a base material with close meshes, parallel v threads on said base material and patternthreads extending under and over said parallel threads vas is customary'in darning.

' 2. Hand-made embroidery comprising a base material, parallel threads on said base material secured vthereto at intervals, and pattern-threads attached to said parallel threads.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 3d day of April, 1906.

NATHAN FRIEDBERGER.
